In the early hours of January 1, 2025, around 3:15 a.m., a devastating event occurred on Bourbon Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter. A man drove a white pickup truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s, claiming the lives of at least 10 people and injuring more than 30 others.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism, with support from other federal agencies. Authorities discovered suspicious items, possibly improvised explosive devices, at the scene and safely detonated them in controlled explosions.
